BTITISH SETTLEMENT


Providence: the whole, or the greater
part of which being so singularly adapted,
from the exquisite properties they possess,
to the convenience of man. Amongst
the choicest of these, and which are abun-
dantly obtained in the country of which
we speak, may be here enumerated: me-
lons of several sorts, pine-apple in equal
variety, oranges of superior flavour, shad-
docks, mango, guava, mammee, cashew-
apple, tamarind, prickly-pear, avocado-
pear, pomegranate, wild-plums of many
species, sea-grape, &c. It may also be
worthy of remark, that the grape of Ma-
deira has been recently introduced into
Honduras, and gives every promise of be-
coming familiarized to its new situation.
